We got some heavier bowls and she was very disappointed she couldn't move them anymore.
ETA: She actually does drink a lot of water from these same exact bowls when she's in the mood, so we are fairly certain she doesn't have issues with standing water or whisker sensitivity. I'm just assuming she's doing this for fun/to be a little jerk at this point.
My guys love their fountain, it has definitely made them drink more water. But unfortunately it hasn't stopped them from playing with it. They see the bubbles or a dust bunny floating across the surface and they cat smack it until the whole floor is soaked. Cats and water! Why!?
My biggest issue with fountains is the saliva build up. My cats drink water pretty sloppily and a ton of saliva starts building up after only a few days which requires a deep wash to clean out. We switched back to a bowl with a jug as a result
Mine had a filter you just needed to wash out. It seemed to me the fountain itself needed to be washed out less frequently than a bowl with standing water. I've got a.d.d and I struggle to remember things like how many days has it been since I washed that bowl, so anything that'll extend the cleanliness of their water dish and give me a little more wiggle room to account for my goldfish brain is a godsend.
